Buying a car from a Used car dealer in portland
was not something we ever wanted to do, but
lucky for us, we found these mobile inspectors
before we bought the car. They spent several
hours looking through the car and finding some
issues that we ended up bringing up to the car
salesmen and got a rather large discount for at
the end of the day. We left happy and feeling
reassured that the car was the right choice and
we knew what repairs needed to be completed
before we purchased the car. Overall, the whole
experience was very seemless and they even fit
us in on the Same day we called them. Thanks a
lot guys! Definitely recommending you guys to
our friends and relatives.

We recently saw a TV news broadcast about all
the vehicles that had salvage and branded
titles for sale in portland and clackamas
areas. So when we found the used car we wanted
to buy on Craigslist for a fraction of the
price of other comparable models, we needed an
2nd opinion. What we learned about the vehicle
and its damage history was appalling. We
decided against buying the car due to its
extensive damage and loss in value. Portland
Motor Cars saved us from buying a vehicle that
was previously totaled!

We went out to buy a car for our son who had
just turned 17. We decided it would be good to
order a pre-purchase inspection for the used
car in order make sure that everything was as
the seller said it was. We were happy to have
paid the little price for the added peace of
mind that our son will be driving a good car.
It was a late model vehicle and we were pleased
with the outcome of the inspection and ended up
buying the car.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Our Inspection is very Exhaustive. Here's
a taste of what we do:

We thoroughly inspect the vehicle you are interested in
buying so that you can make your decision with confidence. We
begin the inspection focusing on the engine and transmission
which include: full visual inspection, engine oil, transmission
oil, brake fluid, coolant hoses, battery cold cranking amps and
cable condition, belts, air filter, and air condition
system.

Moving on to the interior of the vehicle we check the
mileage, heating and air conditioning systems, the interior
lights, instrument panel operation, horn operation, seat
adjustability, seat belt operation, latches, locks, window
operation, power mirrors, condition of seats, carpets,
headliner and dashboard. The trunk is inspected for previous
damage, water leaks, spare tire condition, and for the vehicle
jack and tools for tire removal. Lastly we perform an obd2
diagnostic to scan for fault codes in the engine, transmission,
abs, and srs systems. If parts need replacing, please contact your local mechanic
and they'll assist you, as many have the necessary discounts at Auto Parts stores
needed to fix a vehicle cost effectively.

The exterior of the vehicle inspection is then performed.
The body and paint are visually inspected for flaws, damage,
and panel alignment. All exterior windows are inspected for
cracks and rock chips. We continue to inspect the tires for DOT
number, proper inflation, remaining tire life, brake pads,
struts and or shocks condition, and wheels for cracks, curb
damage and missing weights. The vehicle is then jacked up to
inspected the underside components. We visually inspect the
exhaust system for damage and rust; engine, transmission and
differentials for leaks; cv axles and steering rack for torn
boots; drive shaft for damage and u-joints for excessive play,
and lastly ball joints for excessive play.

The last step is to test drive the vehicle. During the test
drive the engine operation is tested for acceleration, power,
and smoking. As the vehicle is being driven, we note any
unusual noises, operation of transmission, operation of cruise
control, operation of air condition system defrost system,
suspension feel and alignment, how efficient the brakes perform
and emergency brake operation. The entire inspection take
approximately 2-3 hours depending on the vehicle and you are
provided with the inspection sheet for your
convenience.
